Civil Immersion

The Next Round of 30 min. Workouts are a Week Away!

When attending software training, there is never enough time to learn everything an application has to offer. In many cases, training sessions focus on the “need to know” functionality to accomplish typical workflows.

In our upcoming bi-weekly sessions we plan to explore many Civil 3D/InfraWorks/BIM Collaborate Pro tools, tips, and shortcuts not typically shown in traditional training sessions. Our goal being that adding more tools to your toolbox can help you gain efficiency and get the most value out of your Autodesk investment.

Sessions are at 01:30 pm Eastern Time (US and Canada):

• Nov 4 - Creating Label Styles for Any Civil 3D Object - Jeff Bartels
• Nov 18 - Boost your Efficiency by Automating Repetitive Tasks in Civil 3D - Jerry Bartels
• Dec 2 - Surface Simplification: The Silver Lining for Your Point Clouds - Angel Espinoza
• Dec 16 - Closure Analysis with the Traverse Adjustment Tool in Civil 3D - Alan Gilbert

The sessions are only 30 min. and will be 100% live demonstration - no PowerPoint is allowed. We are also more than happy to answer any questions arising from the material.

We hope you can join us for the next session in our “30 Min Workout” series of webcasts!

15 More Civil 3D Tips & Tricks - Alignments & Profiles

This week I had the rare pleasure of presenting at a Civil 3D user group meeting.  My session focused on time saving best practices when working with alignments and profiles.  In approximately 30 minutes, we managed to explore more than 15 topics ranging from creation, to analysis, to stylization.

In keeping with our 30 min. Workout philosophy, I attempted to choose topics that both provide value and fall outside traditional Civil 3D training courses.  My hope was to demonstrate some workflows the users may not have seen before.  If you are interested, I’ve uploaded a recording of the session below…

Thank you so much to Michelle Hood for inviting me to present at JMT’s Civil 3D User Group Meeting!

Entering Property Descriptions and other Record Data into Civil 3D

In this 30 Minute Workout session, we will walk through a variety of methods for entering property descriptions and other recorded data into Civil 3D.  This includes precise cogo entry, AutoCAD linework using the Transparent Tools, and the Traverse Editor tool.

The example project used for most of the presentation is a highway right of way acquisition scenario.  At the end, I show a bonus example of a boundary survey that is re-located into a published planar coordinate system using the Traverse Editor.
